other factors like usage time, intensity of use, and charging habits also have effects on the lifespan, so it’s hard to compare one person’s experience to a single other persons and draw a conclusion that’s anything other than anecdotal without some very specific controls.
what i do know for certain is that the heat generation from wireless charging has been long studied, and so has the effect of those heats on li ion batteries.

yes! heat is kinda the worst thing you can do to a battery. I’m not a chemist, but I believe the chemical reaction that charges/discharges a lithium ion begins to breaks down when performed in a heated environment, and I can confirm that consistent exposure to heat is how you get the really puffy spicy pillow batteries.
- Comment on Grieve with me 1 week ago:
yep! it’s just less efficient than wired charging and whatever is lost in the process is turned into heat, which is particularly poor for your battery. batteries are consumables anyways and it seems like most people get it replaced at least once in a phones lifespan, so it doesn’t really matter if you’re ok with that. from my experience fixing phones over the years I can definitely confirm that using wireless charging consistently, particularly if you’re doing anything intensive at the same time, will lower the lifespan of your battery significantly.

what type of phone? I can gladly give detailed instructions on how to replace it if you want!

I think you could do this repair at home with no prior experience on a lot of androids. for an iphone you have to remove the motherboard though which is pretty obnoxious
- Comment on Grieve with me 1 week ago:
increases strain on your battery tho
- Comment on Grieve with me 1 week ago:
whatever works best! it’s just kinda hard to find something plastic that skinny and sharp, and I use tweezers as it’s the most efficient (but also the most prone to damage if you make mistakes I guess).
starting with the brush/isopropyl is not a bad idea for cleaning the contacts (and should be the first thing tried if a device isn’t charging) but it usually doesn’t actually get stuff out of the port. if a port is only charging at a specific angle, it’s cause there’s debris stuck in there. in my experience it’s usually very hard to get with a brush as it’s been compacted and cemented over however long you’ve had the device.
- Comment on Grieve with me 1 week ago:
it is frankly impressive how much debris a port can hold!
- Comment on Grieve with me 1 week ago:
sharp pair of tweezers or a needle or a toothpicks should be able to help. tons of instructions on how to do it in this thread, but I will add my 2 cents as a phone tech and say that if it’s a lightening port, you want to keep your tool as vertically in the middle of the port as possible while scraping horizontally. for USBC, keep your tool as close to the walls as possible while avoiding the center “tab”. this is so you don’t scrape the contacts. if you do that, you will need a port replacement (usually 80-100$ on most devices). once you scrape as much as you can out. you can use an old toothbrush or whatever works to brush the port clean with some isopropyl to clean any dirt on the contacts, which will come off easily now that it’s not being supported but the other debris you cleaned out with the tool.

labels are useless last a certain point. you’re you and that’s all that matters.
if you absolutely need to pick a label (for a doctor’s form or whatever) bi would be what I would choose since what they’re really asking there is what genders do you sleep with.

oo I bet that rifle was beautiful. I’d love to have an older hunting rifle, there’s something about how they age that makes them gorgeous to me.
I had a savage .270, it was a smaller model they made especially for youth. loved that thing.
- Comment on AMERICAN POPE LETS GO 2 weeks ago:
look into a .270. not a small caliber when you’re used to a 22 but not massive in the whole scheme of things. they’re quite fun at that range you were describing too, and they give you the opportunity to go a lot longer if you ever need/want it.
a .270 was my first hunting rifle, if a scrawny 11 year old could use it I have faith in you :)

cause the crust on those nuggets are so thick and kind of separate from the meat of the nuggets, you can punch a hole in the side of the nugget for a mouthpiece and pick some of the crust off the top to make a bowl. the taste is off-putting tho

im gen z and I’ve smoked out of a mcnugget does that count for anything

you’re right that’s my bad. reading to fast after a long day. apologies
- Comment on Maryland Senator Meets With Wrongly Deported Man in El Salvador 5 weeks ago:
wait so el salvador isnt getting their money and is just jailing them out of the goodness of their hearts? why wouldn’t they just refuse to take us prisoners without immediate payment?
no surprising tho, trump isn’t exactly known for paying his bills

what’s that other site? I’m in the same boat and very curious what the retail value of my steam library would be
- Comment on Rocky rock rocking 1 month ago:
I would describe it more as a well rounded piece of gravel, just calling it a rock disregards the geological implications of fluid transport and energy involved with a well rounded stone of that size.

projection, mostly. they can’t imagine being in a women’s space without taking advantage of it, and they don’t understand that that’s a them issue.

doesn’t this suggest that my 27" monitor I sit a foot away from should just be 480p? that seems a little noticable to me
- Comment on I am in the US and its gotten very political but as pretty much a peon do I just tune the stuff out thinking its fear mongering? Or should I closely pay attention to it? 3 months ago:
don’t tune it out. there are people being deported, people afraid for their rights and their lives. people not paying attention is how we got the Holocaust

that’s not how our justice system tends to work unfortunately. if the shooter is caught, he will end up in prison, no doubt about it.
plus, from a purely socialogical standpoint, having a nameless person with an unknown story allows people to put whatever story they want on them, which makes them a way more compelling figure cause they can appeal to pretty much everyone
